The automotive industry is currently on the verge of electrical transition, and the environmental performance of electric vehicles (EVs) is of great concern. To assess the environmental performance of EVs scientifically and accurately, the authors reviewed the life cycle environmental impacts of EVs and compared them with those of internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEVs).

The over-discharge can significantly degrade a lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery's lifetime. Therefore, it is important to detect the over-discharge and prevent severe damage to the Li-ion battery

The authors suggest that India set a target of lowering emissions from road transport that is at least 25%–50% below the 2020 level by 2050. Additionally, India should prioritize vehicle electrification, electricity grid decarbonization, and stringent fuel efficiency standards, as results from all models and post-COVID-19 analysis demonstrated the effectiveness of these strategies in reducing petroleum reliance and CO2 emissions.

This article mainly focuses on the economic aspects of the recycling of LIBs, presenting and analyzing: (i) the advantages and disadvantages of recycling and (ii) a survey of factors that influence the cost and economic feasibility of disposing of batteries.

This article examines the design of a recent regulatory proposal in Europe that promotes the growth of a battery recycling business. Although electric mobility is thought to be necessary to reduce CO2 emissions in the transportation sector, the industrial and environmental impacts of lithium-ion battery manufacturing are controversial.

This research helps create an agenda for future strategy that supports the battery-swapping business model in India. Because lower battery prices in the future would diminish the cost benefits of acquiring an E2W without the battery, early policy could focus on things less likely to change in the near and medium term, such as the value of time saved on charging and on supporting battery swapping operators (BSOs) in maintaining best practices for operational safety and end-of-life care. That means things like extending future FAME subsidies to two-wheelers sold without pre-fitted batteries and relevant operational and safety standards for BSOs.

In this study, an EV range estimation technique is proposed to recognize the current driving pattern and then classify it into one of the predefined clusters (driving modes).

Trucks and buses in the EU represent just 2.5% of the total stock of vehicles on the road, yet they’re responsible for 21% of total annual oil consumption. The study proposes a variety of measures that can be implemented in 2022 to reduce oil consumption from trucks and buses both immediately and by 2027.
